A nostalgic music video has '90s kids clamoring for a simpler time - a pre-Instagram, pre-Snapchat era laden with 16-bit video games, Crystal Pepsi and Furby toys.

The clip has been viewed more than 9.6 million times and has earned more than 93,000 reactions since it was posted to Facebook by actor Ben Giroux on Monday.

"Your entire childhood in under five minutes," the caption reads.

Here are five things we miss from the 1990s:

1. The console wars

Sega released its 16-bit Genesis console in 1989, while Nintendo released its Super Nintendo Entertainment System in North America two years later. This kicked off a fierce, decade-long competition between the gaming giants.

The North American version of the SNES came with “Super Mario World." Later titles included “SimCity,” “Pilotwings," "Secret of Mana," "Chrono Trigger," "Final Fantasy II" and "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past."

2. Sony Walkmans

Though Sony's brand of audio cassette player technically reached the US in 1980, the bulky, AA battery-powered device remained popular until the late 1990s. Toshiba and Panasonic also manufactured audio cassette players, which cost around $150.

Inline skates are making a comeback, but the popular brand had a massive following in the '90s. Originally produced in 1980 as substitutes for ice skates, "Rollerblades" became a generic term for the product just a few years later. Today, there are more than 60 brands of inline skates.

4. Floppy disks

Apple released the 5.25-inch floppy disk in 1978, but smaller, less-flimsy versions of the devices were used well into the 1990s. The 1.44 MB "diskettes" were used for storing documents and playing games like "Number Munchers" and "Oregon Trail."

Fun fact: "Oregon Trail" has sold more than 65 million copies over 40 years and is now available across 15 platforms.

5. Pogs

Pogs, aka milk caps, ruled school playgrounds from the early to mid-1990s, decades after the game's invention during the 1920s or 1930s.

The game's '90s revival is credited to Blossom Galbiso, a teacher in Hawaii who introduced the game to her students. Pogs quickly spread to the US mainland, appearing in McDonald's Happy Meals and peaking in popularity during the mid '90s. By 1994, an estimated 340 million Pogs had been sold nationwide.
